Former Member of Parliament for Anyaa Sowutuom, Dr.
Adomako Kissi, has urged Parliament to pass a law allowing political parties to retain parliamentary seats for the remainder of a four-year term when vacancies occur, instead of holding by-elections.
Dr.
Kissi argued that such a policy would reduce tensions, violence, and security risks often linked to by-elections in Ghana. "I support the idea where the seat is left for the party for the four years, so that these hotly contested things based on the current behaviour of Ghanaians will be stopped," he said on Channel One TV's Breakfast Daily on Tuesday, August 12, 2025.
